Concrete Block Cutting Test (Battery Saw)
At 3:38 in
Full throttle! Makita 80V Chopsaw VS GAS!
What happens here
The assistant uses the Makita 40V XGT battery-powered cut-off saw to perform a cut through a concrete block. A water line is connected to the saw for wet cutting, which helps to suppress dust and cool the blade. The cut is made smoothly, demonstrating the saw's control and precision. The presenter comments on the straightness of the cut and explains that the battery saw experiences less 'torsional drift' compared to gas saws. Torsional drift, common in gas models due to engine rotation, can make it harder to maintain a clean, straight line during initial cuts. The battery saw's design minimizes this effect, providing a smoother user experience and more precise cuts.
Goal: Test the cutting performance and precision of the battery-powered cut-off saw on concrete.
